SPOILER ALERT!

Welcome!

This page has been prepared to serve as an orientation to James Bond Watches for first-time visitors, as highlighter on updates, refresher on navigating content, and general guide to getting the most from the experience.

For “About,” “Privacy,” and “Terms” pages, see each, separately, elsewhere on this website. These links are accessible via menu at the bottom of each page here.

Subject Matter

Audiences for This Content

  • Fans who are interested in learning more about James Bond watch choices in the movies, original writings of 007 creator Ian Fleming, and in tangential releases (eg, officially licensed issues).
  • Individuals who are interested in best-authority identifications of one or more of these sorts of timekeepers.
  • Members of the press, researchers, and legitimate sellers of watches and materials related to that which is covered here.

Exclusive Photographs

Original, high-resolution photographs exclusive to James Bond Watches are available off-site on the separate image-sharing platform Flickr [1]. These include images of individual watches, displays, and timepieces that appeared in-context with related James Bond materials. All photographs have been subjected, in varying degrees, to post-processing (eg, through Photoshop), prior to release.

Each is available for immediate download — in service to the interest of helping assure that the most accurate, up-to-date references appear foremost.

All access is provided free of charge, subject to proper compliance with copyright acknowledgment as specified. Acceptable non-commercial, no derivatives end uses include editorial content in print publications and educational presentations. (See Flickr for complete details.)

Where available, specific links are provided as part of main content for specific watch pages here on the James Bond Watches website itself (eg, “Gruen 510 Precision“).

  • Main menu is accessed on all platforms by way of the slide-drawer (“hamburger”) icon that appears at the lower-left on each screen.

Other key pages can be reached as follows:

  • “Spoiler Alert” notice is linked from text that appears at the top-right of each page.
  • “Welcome!” (this page) is linked from either “00” text or through hamburger icon (depending upon platform) that appears on the top-right of each page, on the same line as the “James Bond Watches” site identification.
  • “About,” “Privacy Policy,” and “Terms” links are located at the bottom of each page.
  • Unless otherwise noted, links within a page are tied to content within the James Bond Watches website.
  • Links identified as “Off-Site” are tied to content outside of this site, and should be considered outside of any control over, responsibility for, or endorsement of James Bond Watches.

Layout

This content first started in a structure for distribution on the World Wide Web two years before debut of the Apple iPhone. Back then, in 2005, James Bond Watches was laid out in a format optimized for desktop computers.

As of 2023, nine-in-ten Americans owned a smartphone. With that came access via those same devices to websites such as this. Given the anticipated need for real-time information in brick-and-mortar, trade mart, and similar on-the-fly identification opportunities, priority has been given to James Bond Watches ease of access on hand-helds, beginning with version 5.0 in 2024.

Additionally, all visual content has been selected and uploaded with a priority to speed-of-page-loading, as opposed to resolution and discernible detail. Where highly detailed reference images are called for, links have been provided to off-site resources.

Authorities

  • “Authority,” when used for example in the context of a book- or movie-affiliated James Bond watch identification, essentially means “the person or entity most likely to be accountable or reliable” in having made that determination.
  • In cases where authorities are cited under Reference sections variously provided throughout this site, they are always based upon best accessible information for credibility. In cases where alternatives have been found, value based upon providing variety may sometimes lead to selections that do not appear conguent.

James Bond Watches Blog

  • JamesBondWatchesBlog.com™ is no longer a stand-alone asset. Any URL formerly associated with that site has been configured for redirection to its current successor on this site.
  • Original JamesBondWatchesBlog.com taxonomies have not been maintained here. Current Categories have been assigned to with work on James Bond Watches 5.0 configuration.
  • The Internet Archive (“WayBack Machine”) appears to have done a very good job of having captured the vast majority of James Bond Watches Blog [2], in addition to a respectable amount of early personal blog material related to James Bond watches [3].
  • Ongoing James Bond Watches Blog posts should be regarded as in-process and raw, unvarnished content. This is particularly true when it comes to more granular details of James Bond watch identifications: The final, overriding authority in any “disconnect” between main site page and blog post will always be the main site page.
